I just found this on ebay. Its about 10 miles away from me and was thinking of going for a look, more out of curiosity than anything else. I was wonderig if its legal to do anything other than own and look at this sort of thing here ?

I may be completely off my trolley, but I still would not actually think of buying it if I had the sort of money he is asking I would be booking 10 hours of lessons _________________R22 2.6 h/r wanting more, a hell of a lot more

It just looks stupid and not very crashworthy. I reckon someone farting 10 miles away would get the blades to hit the tail. I thought things couldn't get any worse then the Mini 500, it's appears it just has..._________________ATPL(H) IR(H): SK92, AS355, EC120, R22/44

I wonder if the rotor damage is the apparent kink in the forward pointing blade in the pix?
Would you trust a water-cooled engine? I don't think any other heli has a water-cooled power plant in it - something extra to fail - and has it had mags put in instead of the usual ignition system?
It does look a bit Meccano really...is that vertical wooden looking stick the collective? Not to be trusted - being sold by a s/h car dealer too!

I like your youtube clip of the small turbine helicopter WhirlyGuy. A perfectly good little aircraft. How many of these small helicopters are out there? I prefer the turbine power-plant to the BMW engine in the 1st posting.

Sorry hendrik but I don't know the answer to that one but what I'm wondering is how could anyone ever get a license for one of those. There's no way for training to take place and how could you ever do a check-ride?
